Heat - Huawei P20 Real Life Review

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Huawei P20 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.

Done stress test using app and in 10 minutes phone top half, but top half of the front screen heated most

Overall use for the last 3 days phone didn't manage to get hot. And just played around 30-40 minutes of NFS No Limits resulting again in almost no noticeable difference in heat.

Used a couple of days.
During normal use didn't notice it getting any warmer. Same goes for some not so demanding games.
With some more hardcore gaming I can maybe feel a warmer spot when I look for it.
Will update after I run a stress test for funsies and do a longer gaming session.
Overall, awesome imo!
edit: While gaming for longer time, Less demanding games like clash royale and so on do not heat up the phone at all. Playing Hearthstone and PUBG also didn't notice any significant heat-up. It all depends on how the game is optimized, overall good games even these more demanding won't heat up the phone much. I tested some early access game, it heat up a lot and drained battery very quickly, the phone heated up in the top part near the camera.

My one does tend to get fairly warm but that's about it.

Razer wasn't kidding when they said that the heat dissipation in this phone is borrowed from their gaming laptop division. This thing can get a little warm but is a far cry from all of the other phones that I have felt and used. Good work Razer. I benchmark like crazy and have not seen it throttle ever.
With the screen at 3/4 brightness and playing Titanfall Assault, the phone gets pretty warm. Which isn't an issue hwoever I notice the touchscreen starts to be less accurate.
Can't say it's been hot, not even sure I can say it's been warm. This is with using the razer rugged case, which is like 2-3mm thick so I think I would probably feel it if it became hotter.
Temps are good when verifying via CPUZ.
Heat dissipation is through the aluminum case itself and as such can get warmer than feels comfortable during heavy use.
When you play graphically heavy games for very long (examples 2 hours on RoS: Rules Of Survival), the phone heats up but its quite slow. Dissipates faster than other flagship phones though
Mine got way too hot too quickly.

Rippu. Try limiting your graphical use. The phone really puts emphasis more into the games and actually pushes your phone to the limits.
I've been doing hours of heavy gaming with MC5 while charging. This phone is slow to heat up, and stays relatively cool. I'm also using a case.

My P20 Pro gets VERY warm even without gaming under heavy screen usage. Lightroom, google photos, email, hangouts... I then put it in my pants pocket and could feel the heat noticeably till it cooled down.
My p20 pro is still pretty cold as it hasn't arrived yet
I've been surprised at the lack of heat!
Weird. Mine is fine. Something sucking up cpu time in the background maybe?
Mine gets quite warm even after light use (especially in the upper left corner).
Does the same happen to you? Is it normal?

Hi, same thing happens to me, albeit after a bit longer/more demanding use.
I've noticed when playing PUBG only, after the latest update that gives the game suite and some sec updates i think, the phone becomes warm, and then the heat from the battery/cpu interferes with the touchscreen and exactly where my finger is to move in pubg, its the warmest.
Thus it stops registering my finger and i quit moving in the game, wouldn't notice this on daily use of course, but i think it is a huge issue. Not because i died multiple times due to that in the game, but as it is a new and kindof premium phone, this shouldn't happen at all and was working perfectly for 2 months before that.
I've even installed an app to measure the temperature and it goes up to about 49 degrees celsius.
Any ideas?
Don't have any issue. Was using iPhone 6 and it was literally burning while am playing any game.
This device is far from getting warm compared to iPhone 6 and 7.
I'd say the P20 Pro is average when it comes to heat during use. It will never get uncomfortably hot, but can get fairly warm when gaming.

Without gaming, intensive usage produces no heat! I didn't game soooo, maybe it wont either! xD

Good to hear, usually most phones I have used, when browsing the web for a while, the phone heats up.

The processor is optimized well. The device gets warm with heavy multi tasking but not hot. Only time it gets above 42 degrees at the back is if you play PUBG at HD and Extreme FPS with the case on!
Then again, the phone is limited to Medium and Balanced for optimization reasons!
I played pubg for 20-30 minutes with adaptive brightness and it just got little warm only
I used 3 to 4 models of Moto compared to them heat is very less. Some times it heat little bit. Noting to worry .

With normal phone usage phone doesn't heat up at all. When I'm heavy multitasking _watching a YouTube video while downloading a a torrent and reading a manga using tachiyomi and charging at the same time it does get noticeably warm but does not lag or become unbearable to hold
Does get warm when using for extended periods for gaming/ heavy usage, but doesn't slow down
From all the mobiles I've used in the past, I find Galaxy A50 the best one in handling the Heat. It stays cool in heavy usages
Well... no heating issues here. I would say that I am a normal user. Some games some YouTube, emails and web browsing. Have the phone only 2 days so too early to say...
I notice device gets hot on charging and while making some calls too
while playing PUBG it stays at 58-59 FPS for the first 10-15 minutes but then it goes up and down and and finally settles at around 45 Fps during extended play. Device Stays little warm not too hot

The heat dissipation is very nice i tried PUBG Mobile and COD Mobile on my S9+ and it got hotter than my Mi Note 10, yeah obviously it has a better CPU over than the Xiaomi but it runs every game smoothly without any lag i played hours and hours with the two games and the battery finished at least didn't got hot the device. So the overall heat dissipation is very nice for this device.
the heat is to much when on 4g just browsing, the phone gets hot

Me too, with camera app or videocall whatsapp phone heating a lot
Mine overheats a lot (like hell lot i would say 60+ Celsius) when using Bluetooth with the DJI Mimo app for some reason, but only with that app. Gaming and everything else is ok.
